Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 373 Fighting Shanyang, the little clever ghost Li Dian

Yuan Zhong's words immediately alerted Zhu Ling.

My family?In this battle, the only ones who can call themselves our clan are the members of the Yuan clan.

Zhu Ling came to his senses and asked, "Are you a child of the Yuan family?"

Yuan Zhong sneered again: "Hmph, you are smart, this is Yuan Gongcong's elder brother Yuan Zhong, if you know the current affairs, you will abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and send me back, I will guarantee you to be promoted to the rank!"

Zhu Ling squinted at Yuan Zhong, but he really had other plans in his mind.

My lord captured Yuan Shao and got a huge amount of food and grass, so this brother Yuan Shaocong should be worth a lot, but Zhu Ling didn't rush to ask this, because Yuan Zhong's words just now contained too much information, revealing that Tao Qian The army is not its only means. In this way, it should be that Yuan Shao still has deployments for Shanyang County, most likely sending troops directly from Peiguo or Liangguo to seize Shanyang County.

Sanyo must be notified as soon as possible.

Whether it's too late or not.

Immediately, Zhu Ling called the messenger and said, "Hurry up to Changyi and tell Xu Qian to guard against the enemy in the south!"

Yuan Zhong laughed again and again: "Hahaha, it's too late to report now. Although I lost, I have dragged you here for several days. At this time, Shanyang may be lost!"

Zhu Ling frowned, and with a flick of the gun, he slammed on Yuan Zhong's neck, knocking him unconscious.

"Noisy!" Zhu Ling cursed inwardly, and ordered again: "The cavalry block Chen Yi, and the others follow me and rush to Shanyang!"

……

Shanyang County, the governing place is Changyi.

Li Qian and Xu Gan looked at the densely packed soldiers below the city, the siege supplies were slowly advancing from a distance, and when they reached the city, the siege began.

"Mr. Wei Chang, the enemy army is tens of thousands, and there are only three thousand Li's tribes in this city, and the enemy army has siege equipment, how should this city be defended?" Li Qian couldn't help asking.

Xu Gan shook his head, expressing that he had no idea, governing the county or making some poems and prose was his specialty.

"You said, can the reinforcements from the King of Bohai arrive in time?" Li Qian asked again.

Xu Gan stroked his beard and replied: "Since the King of Bohai took Shanyang County, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by. It's a pity that this place is relatively remote. Even if there are reinforcements, it may take some time."

While talking, there was a rush of footsteps, and Li Qianxun saw that it was Li Dian.

"Mancheng, if you're not studying hard in Julu, what are you doing here!"

Li Dian replied: "I heard that Yin Kui had violated the border again, so I came here all night long! Uncle, I will fight side by side with you!"

"At your age, you know how to fight! Go back quickly!" Li Gan said, this battle is dangerous, and he doesn't want Li Dian to be in danger.

"Then why can Brother Zheng lead the army!" Li Dian said.

"Li is seventeen years old, how can you be the same as you! You only grow a few hairs! Be obedient, and return to Juye quickly before the north gate is surrounded! This is an order!" Li Gan solemnly reprimanded, as Uncle Li Dian and the garrison general of Changyi, his order has two meanings, it is not only the order of the father, but also the order of the army.

Li Dian had read all the classics, how could he resist, so he had no choice but to leave the city in resentment.

Li Qian cast his gaze down the city again, and as the enemy army approached step by step, the battle was getting closer.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound from a distance, and a huge boulder rose into the air and slammed towards the city wall, hitting the wall. Li Gan and Xu Gan felt their whole bodies tremble.

Then there were bursts of yelling from under the city, that is, the enemy army was giving orders.

The siege has begun!

Li Gan glanced at the rolling stones and woods that had been prepared, and there were only more than 200 defensive bows, scattered across the four gates, and there were only dozens of them.

"Sir, General Lu Bu is the closest to us, will he come to support us?"

Xu Gan gave Li Gan a meaningful look. He asked this and that, and all he asked was reinforcements, which showed that he was getting more and more uncertain.

But he still stands at the head of the city, leading a group of Li's trilogy here.

"Cheer up, the enemy is coming up!" Li Qian yelled, and immediately took a bow from the hand of Bu Qu behind him, and aimed at the enemy rushing up from below.

With a sound of "嗖", the arrow flew across the lower city, right in the middle of the soldiers below, and nailed them to the ground.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the arrow went down, there was a burst of arrow rain below. After entering the shooting range, the lower part also began to shoot arrows towards the top of the city.

Li Qian shot another arrow, narrowly avoiding a huge boulder, and cursed: "The thief is really prepared, and he will eat arrows and stones at the top of the city. Who is attacking the city and who is defending the city!"

Under the city, trebuchets, ladder carts, and battering rams gradually approached.

Yin Kui watched the progress of the siege and smiled with satisfaction.

The dignity that was lost here last time, this time, I have to get it all back!
In Chengshi County in the northwest of Changyi County, Yuan Yi and Chen Bing were here. Lu Bu wanted to rush to help Changyi, but he was worried that Chengshi would be lost, and the King of Bohai would blame him, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

Wei Xu advocated abandoning Chengshi altogether and rushing to help Shanyang directly. After all, Shanyang County is the foundation, and Chengshi County is indeed the city of Jiyin County.

But Hou Cheng objected to rushing to help, saying that if the Cheng family was abandoned, the northern gate of Sanyang County would be opened, and the enemy would attack Sanyang County, making the situation worse.

Lü Bu was in a dilemma, so he had no choice but to stand still and guard the Cheng family. The abominable thing is that while Lü Bu was guarding, Yuan Yi stopped attacking, as if he had come here specially to contain him.

Wei Xu was wearing armor and was ready to send troops at any time. He was still persuading everyone.

"Yuan Yi stood still, in order to contain us. Although the Cheng family is important, if Shanyang is lost, what is the use of guarding the door!"

"But this is the duty of our army!" Hou Cheng said.

Hao Meng also interjected: "Can't we divide the troops? If Wei Xu wants to go, I will go too."

Lu Bu frowned thickly and did not speak, but his face was obviously unhappy.

Cheng Lian immediately kicked Hao Meng and cursed in a low voice, "What's the point!"

"I have made up my mind! Our army will abide by our duties and stick to the Cheng family to prevent Yuan Yi from sneaking in. Don't talk about it!" Lu Bu turned around and said to Wei Xu: "Ah Xu, if you want to go to war, go and visit Yuan Yi. Leave the camp, wait for the opportunity."

……

At the head of the city of Changyi, Yin Kui's soldiers and horses carried shields, climbed the city ladder, and climbed up. From time to time, stones fell from above, knocking people down, and on the other side of the siege ladder, soldiers followed the ladder. Climb quickly and go straight to the top of the city. The place where the ladder is located is also the main defense of the defenders at the top of the city.

Li Gan had given up his bow and arrow at this time, and was holding a long knife, guarding in front of a ladder. Every time someone jumped off, he greeted them with a knife, but he still couldn't stand the continuous stream of soldiers rushing up.

Suddenly, there was another call from behind.

"Uncle, use kerosene!"

When Li Gan took a look, it was Xiao Li Dian who ran up to the city again, followed by several people, carrying pots one after another.

"Huoyou, that's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Li Gan bluffed and slashed down with his knife, feeling strange again, "Why are you still in the city, kid?"

"Uncle, the north gate has been sealed, I can't get out!"

"Put down the fire oil quickly, you go down to the city quickly, this place is dangerous!"

Li Dian obviously also knew the danger, he hid behind the parapet, commanded the people behind him: "Quick, drop the can on the cloud cart!"

Li Gan was very relieved to see that he was still commanding, but he shouted again: "I'll come, I'll come, you go down to the city!"

While talking, several arrows flew to cover the people who climbed the city on the ladder, one of them hit Li Qian's left arm, and with a "bang", the sword fell to the ground.

"Uncle be careful!"

The two enemy soldiers jumped down, just in time to bump into the person who was going to set fire oil, and immediately drew his knife and slashed to kill him. Just as he was about to attack Li Dian further, Li Qian drew his sword and stepped forward, piercing through it. The enemy's chest, and then another sword slashed on the enemy's neck.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Li Dian immediately supported the crumbling man holding the kerosene, took the kerosene in his hand, gritted his teeth, and lifted it up with difficulty. Now Li Dian was a little taller than the crenel, and he held the kerosene and smashed it Down.

With a bang, the oil tank shattered, and the kerosene poured out immediately, pouring down along the stairs.

Li Gan immediately shouted: "Fire! Set fire!"

A member of the Li family had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately rushed forward with a torch, and threw it towards the crenel.

It exploded with a "boom", and a wall of fire jumped from the ladder to the city wall. At the same time, on the ladder, the flowing flames continued to flow to the ground, burning blazingly.

"Haha, Mancheng, you really helped me a lot!" Li Gan ignored his injuries and immediately ordered his men to use the remaining kerosene to attack the ladders. Compared to them, the threat of ordinary climbing ladders is much smaller. up.

Yin Kui looked at the city wall from a distance, looked at the several ladders on fire, and couldn't help frowning. He arranged all three ladders in the south of the city. What he feared most was fire attack. Unexpectedly, Li Gan, a reckless man, could think of a way to deal with it. No, could it be Xu Qian's thought?
Not only the ladder, but even the location of the battering ram, a few cans of kerosene fell from the top of the city, and then the torches were thrown down to ignite it. few.

Yin Kui saw that the main advantages had been lost, so he had no choice but to retreat first. If he used the only remaining climbing ladder, the cost of attacking the city would also increase exponentially. It was helpless and correct to retreat first.

On the top of the wall, Li Gan's right hand was firmly pressing down on his left to prevent excessive blood flow.

"Patriarch, the enemy army has retreated, they have retreated!" a voice said excitedly.

Li Gan let go of his hand to look at the injury, then pressed his hand back, and smiled at Xu Gan who was standing beside him: "Sir, we have defended a city!"

Xu Gan also heaved a sigh of relief, his sword-holding hands were still trembling slightly, and he also made a move in the fierce battle just now, but instead of fighting head-on, he killed two people with a second knife. Lean lightly against the wall.

"Oh, sir, don't pretend, just sit down if your legs are weak, at worst let the mother-in-law do the laundry!"

Xu Gan smiled awkwardly, slipped quietly, and sat slumped on the ground.

"Yin Kui won't let it go. If Mancheng hadn't been astute today, I'm afraid the city would be lost." Xu Gan said.

"That's right, Mancheng is smart since he was a child, but unfortunately he doesn't pay attention to his studies. I, Mrs. Li, have money and land, and I only need a scholar!"

Xu Gan smiled, Li Qian's thoughts, I am afraid that most of the powerful people in the world are like this, similar to Li Gan, they have money, land and even soldiers, but they are poor in education.

Just when Li Gan was joking about the various parts and survived the one-day defense of the city, Li Gan's first letter of appeal for help finally arrived in Wei County.

"Sanyo urgent report!"

"Sanyo urgent report!"

As soon as the messenger entered the new south gate, he ran straight to the Bohai palace without slowing down. For a moment, the whole city was shocked, and all the staff went straight to the palace before they heard the announcement.

Liu Qing was also notified immediately and summoned immediately.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Li Gan ordered me to travel all day and night to inform all about Yin Kui's invasion."

"Yin Kui! Fortunately, it was Li Qian who pleaded for him at the beginning, and this king let him live. The ungrateful person has offended me again!"

"My lord, judging from the situation, Yin Kui's invasion shows that the Yuan family is not holding back Shanyang, but is determined to win." Guo Jia said, "I'm afraid there will be other forces besides Tao Qian, Yin Kui, and Yuan Yi. .”

"Is there any other power?" Liu Qing looked at Guo Jia incredulously, "Is it not enough to go to Wenyuan and Wenbo?"

Tian Feng, who had just arrived, hurriedly said: "My lord, I should send reinforcements earlier, maybe I can catch up."

However, at this time Liu Qing had no soldiers to send besides the Dianwei Huwei camp and his own imperial guard camp. Gao Shun was stationed in Chenliu all the year round, and Xu Huang was also ordered to go to Chenliu County.

"Perhaps Lu Bu, who is stationed in the Cheng clan, should be ordered to go quickly," Xun Yu said.

"Yes, hurry up and spread the report and order them to rescue! If the Shanyang army falls, what's the point of guarding the Cheng clan? Only when Sanyang is defended can the Cheng clan be valuable!" Liu Qing ordered.

"Is there any news about Zhang Liao, Zhu Ling or Zhao Yun?" Liu Qing asked.

"My lord, both Zilong Wenyuan and Wenbo have missions, so they should not be transferred arbitrarily," Guo Jia said.

"That's right, don't go to the doctor in a hurry. However, Shanyang County was taken by the king himself. Now that Li Qian is asking for help, the king wants to conquer Changyi himself. Dianwei, you go and prepare first!" Liu Qing ordered,
"The lord will go in person, Shanyang will be safe, and I am willing to follow!"

After thinking for a while, Liu Qing refuted Guo Jia's point of view. Their trip was destined to take them day and night, and they rushed to Shanyang County at the fastest speed. Guo Jia obviously couldn't bear it.

Guo Jia was silent, and Liu Qing said again: "If I'm not here, all affairs related to the military in other states and counties will be subject to Guo Jia's arrangement!"

All the staff said in unison: "Here!"

Liu Qing didn't have any extra nonsense, he dismissed everyone and walked out the door.

Dian Wei had assembled two battalions of guards, so he could only travel lightly for this trip, and he would replenish on the way.

There was another reason why Liu Qing went there in person. In the past, Li Gan interceded for Yin Kui in order to win over famous people in Yuzhou. Although Li Gan looked like a reckless man, he had a lot of money for interpersonal matters.

Now that Yin Kui is here again, Liu Qing might as well make a trip in person to wade in the muddy water in Yuzhou.

At the same time, it also stimulated and tested the Yuan family. Yuan Shao's coordinated deployment on such a large scale, Liu Qing vaguely felt that it would not be for the mere sake of Shanyang County.

Similarly, Liu Qing will mobilize Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhu Ling, and Zhang He from Qingzhou for his expedition this time. Such a gathering of forces in Shanyang will naturally not be for the mere sake of Shanyang County.
